ESOS: Your rights

CQUniversity and the Australian Government want international students in Australia to have a safe, enjoyable and rewarding place to study. Australia's laws promote quality education and consumer protection for international students.

STUDENT RESPONSIBILITIES

As per the Student Declaration you signed when you accepted your offer, you must adhere to the University’s Policies and Procedures concerning your enrolment. If you hold a student visa, you should also be aware of the following:

You must complete your course by the end date on your Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE). This usually requires you to complete 48 credit points per academic year. The University can only extend the duration of your CoE in limited circumstances.

You must hold a valid visa while in Australia. It is your responsibilities to know when your visa expiry date and apply for a new visa or depart Australia before it is void.

You must comply with the conditions of your visa, including those related to work limitations, OSHC, course progress/attendance and ensure your address is up-to-date in MyCentre.

You must not study more than 33% of the units you need to complete at CQUniversity via online. If a unit is offered both on-campus and via online, you must enrol in the on-campus offering.

You must be enrolled in at least one on-campus unit in each compulsory term.

A fact sheet is available for international students containing important information about your rights and responsibilities while studying in Australia.
